⁠⁠⁠Western Bay of Plenty District Council (Western Bay) wishes to procure the upgrades and renewals to existing water supply capacity in the following growth areas:

• Contract / Separable Portion 1: I’Anson Rd and Te Puna Rd
• Contract / Separable Portion 2: Station Rd
• Contract / Separable Portion 3: No. 1 Rd + No. 2 Rd
• Contract / Separable Portion 4: Tetley Rd.

What’s important to us?

• Cost-effective upgrades and renewals.
• Methodology and programming which clearly demonstrates ability to deliver on time.
• There is considerable urgency to have these projects practically completed by 30 June 2022. Therefore we will evaluate price by each potential contract / separable portion price. This could result in up to four separate contracts through this single tender process.
• With this in mind, please only tender for the portions you are realistically capable of delivering on. If you wish to bid for all four portions, please ensure your programme evidences your ability to deliver on time.
• We consider this project low risk as there are no potential environmental requirements for the work; majority of the water main that will be installed via directional drilling with open-cut trench where necessary due to locating existing services.

Why should you bid?

Western Bay actively engages in renewals of its infrastructure, and is eager to develop strong relationships with competent contractors so that we can carry out more of this work in a timely and cost-effective manner.
We intend to use this tender to test the current market and gain an understanding of available contractors. We may choose to negotiate with the awarded contractor/s to add future works of a similar nature to contracts in the next 24 months. 

Interested? What’s next?

We intend to go to market with a lowest price conforming tender by mid December 2021 with a closing date for tenders on Friday 21 January 2022.
